Fattening Turkeys.

On this timely subject correspond.
ent in the Country Gentleman gives
the following valuable points:
Turkeys that are raised for market
should be fed with this fact is view,
and those that have had to board
themselves almost from the time they
were feathered until late in the fall
are not apt to be thrifty, rapidly fat
tened fowls.
During the summer, after they have
attained considerable size and where
insects are numerous, [ feed them but
once day-in the evening. I choose
this time of the day for two reasons
because it brings them home at night,
and because fowl ought never to 60
to roost hungry. When they do not
succeed in filling their crops during
the day, attend to it in the evenings.
Turkeys are not greedy eaters, and
there is no danger of overfeeding
healthy growing turkeys that have free
range.
But along in September, when the
insect supply fails, 1 give increased
rations and feed twice day. For
breakfast nothing excels boiled pota-
toes crumbled, and added to the same
amount of either bran or corn-meal
mush-cool. Salt this mixture slight.
ly, and add to it ground and finely
minced meat scraps. as substitute
for their lost insect diet, in the proper
tion of one heaping tablespoonful to
each pint of the food. Mix with this,
daily. finely chopped turnips, cabbage,
carrots or apples; and onions and pull
verized charcoal on alternate mornings.
The charcoal is given in the same rel
ative quantities as the ground meat.
For supper, allow all they will eat of
some fattening grain-say corn and
buckwheat, with wheat occasionally.
AS the amount of food they can
pick up for themselves decreases with
the approach of winter, more must be
provided at home. Not large feeds at
a time, but more meals day. Add
dinner of the mixture fed in the morn.
ing. At first. this noon feed not be
full meal, but only lunch to ward off
hunger till supper time. AS the wealth
er becomes more severe and foraging
is over, gradually increase it. This
amount of food is sufficient to winter
turkeys not intended for market.
Two or three weeks before the time
you have decided upon for marketing
the turkeys, remove from the flock
those you desire for next yera's breed.
ing. Fattening these is injurious to
them and waste of food besides. Give
those destined for market feed of
boiled potatoes and mush Immediately
after daylight and again about ten and
two o'clock. feed all they will eat
at the time, but never enough to leave
any lying around. Continue the char
coal as before, and give the chopped
vegetables in their soft food only once
a day. Just before dark give feed of
shelled corn, once week substituting
for it buckwheat, by way of variety.
Never confne fattening turkeys to
small pens; they gain fat better on
their accustomed range. I allow my
flock entire freedom, but when they
are given plenty of good feed at home
they seldom stray far from it. Lastly,
in the feeding enclosure have these
two things: heap of gravel, and
clean vessels filled with pure water and
swaat mill

Bad Butter and Where it Comes
From.


city men" know nothing of butter, as
they never made it. To dispel this
idea, I can assure them that I know
butter-tasters who are paid $4,000 a
year simply to test it, and the farmers
produce in the New.York market must
90 through this test; they may impose
on themselves, but assure you they
cannot on those tasters This may not
be generally knew and the wider such
knowledge is spread, the better for all
concerned.
Per contra, I have met many farmers
who at once admitted the inferiority of
their butter. Such men all concur in
saying that they cannot get dairymen
or women to make butter right. They
60 to cities and advertise for them,
which is source of expense and a
great worry. All other help is easily
obtained and for this reason they aban-
don butter-making, or are contemplating
doing so. This is not personal loss;
it is loss to the whole country.
Europe needs butter, and we can sup
ply it at profit when we'll made.
South America furnishes large butter
market and better prices than Europe.
What do they get from us? Oleomar-
garine, marked "pure butter firm
in New-York city shipping millions of
pounds a year to South America. Let
our farmers make good butter, and it
will ship just as well as tallow and lard.
have been engaged in buying ran
cid butter to be rsmade no oleomar-
garine,) and have bought tons of it in
Albany and New York from butter
commission merchants. Probably few
of our readers have the slig idea
of the amount OF bad butter in the
market. A mistaken idea prevails that
any one who can turn butter over in a
bowl can make it. This accumulation
of bad butter is gathered from country
stores, where farmers "trade" it for gro.
ceries. l have watched the makers,
who are generally the ordinary house
help, working in. rooms adjacentto the
dining room and kitchen, where tobacco
smoking is INDUCED in. When in a
cellar. the milk is surrounded by pota.
toes, cabbages and all the other etcet-
eras Of the ordinary farmer-they eth,
er not knowing or not caring that their
milk absorbs all this bad odor. 1t is
the same in summer, and perhaps
worse. Morning and evening the male
hired help milk the COWS, which are
plastered on each hindquarter with
manure; the men turn in from the field, ,
all perspiration, dirty clothes, dirty
hands. To wash their hands or the
cows udder. in their estimation is loss
of time.
The above from cotemparary, is a
very fair picture of q good deal of farm
butter making; and there is no hope of
it growing better while the practice of
butter making is continued in the aver
age farm house. The only hope of i'm
provement is the creamery, where the
farmer sells his milk every morning as
soon as drawn from the COW. Were
there not one pound of butter made at
the farm house, millions of dollars lost
in bad butter would be added to the
profit side of the dairy account. Throw
away the churns and send every pound
OF milk to the creamery and the work
of the women will be curtailed and

 Carpenter Brothers of Port Chester, who did ouarrying and stone crushing for the Consolidated road for many years, nave brought suit for $75, ,000 damages, claiming that they enlarged their plant on the repre- sentations of an officer of the company and were then deprived of the work.
 The Bridgeport Farmer says: With the force now at work it will take the greater part of the summer to complete the connect ing link between the Danbury and Norwalk and the Housatonic at Hawleyville. There is a fill to be made one-half mile in length and g feet in it's greatest depth, with an average of 12 feet. Besides this there is an arch bridge to be built.
 It is definitely announced to the employees of the Milford, Franklin, Providence and Hopkinton roads, formerly owned by George Draper, Esq, that the New York and New England has leased them for ninety-nine years from October 1 at per cent.
 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: The members of the Asylum street bridge com mission are to hold meeting on Thursday of this week to decide on plans so that the work can be carried on without further in- terruption. A meeting was to have been held last Thursday for that purpose, but was postponed there being no qurum. The req son for the present delay is that the railroad companies are unwilling to do anything with out the consent of the commission, fearing at some future time complications might arise in apportioning the cost. In addition to this the nature of the work between Church and Asylum streets and also south of the latter street, is such as to delay matters somewhat. The architecture of the depot itself is, of course, in the hands of the Con- solidated road and it is expected that the various plans will be handed in,.this morning to President Clark and Superintendent Reed at New Haven.

Mothers.

There are upon the skin of every human being, child and adult alike, two million three hundred thousand pores. Through these pores, in the form of insensible per- spiration, is expelled more than one-quarter of the nourishment taken into the system. The importance of keeping open these per spiration valves upon @ child's body is sec ond only to that of promptly digesting the food eaten. It was to open the pores of the skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation, fevers and eruptions which are 50 constant among infants and children, and which kill one~third of all children before they are five years old, arise principally from these two causes. It is from the wonderful results attendant upon the use of Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels and keep ing open the pores of the skin, that Castoria acquired it's worldwide reputation. With plenty of water for the body, pure air for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food, there need be no unaccounted for sickness among children. Castoria is a vegetable prescription without morphine or other mar cotic property. Thirty years extensive use has given it history never attained by an- other medicine.

For the Sacred Concert at Congress
 Park, Saratoga.
 W. A. Beers has just received letter from Superintendent Schuyler, of Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, authorizing him to arrange with Mrs. Sherwood s. Thompson of this city to sing at one of the concerts to be held on the park this month. Mrs. Thompson while at Saratoga last season sang in the parlors of her hotel one evening and her sweet melody most favorably attracted the attention of the guests and having come to the notice of MT. Schuyler he wished to give the patrons of the park (of whom there are several thousand present at each weekly entertainment) chance to hear Mrs. Thomp- son sing. The concert is usually in two parts and consists of fine instrumental pro- gramme by the famous Tenth regiment band of Albany, N. Y., which has been engaged at the park for the season, interspersed by vocal selections by some noted lady singers. We understand Mrs. Thompson has accepted the offer and will probably sing at a sacred concert to be given on Congress Park Sunday evening, August 21. As soon as arrange ments are completed programme will bs published.
